QuickTip: Get wireless network adapter with PowerShell

If you want to retrieve a wireless network adapter with PowerShell, do not use the name property of the Get-NetAdapter cmdlet to filter the adapters by name or with wildcards. This property is unreliable because the name of the adapter may have been changed by a user or administrator and it is different in MultiLanguage deployments (e.g. Wi-Fi on an English OS, WLAN on a German OS).
